I feel I don't express enough how smart this dang cat is. Operates on a schedule so she knows when I'm available to spend time with her, responds to her name and certain calls, and literally asks for pets.

Purgatory 3/11/2025 I used halftone for this one, but it took so long that I’m not doing it again. Discover my old cel-shaded values at linktr.ee/detectiveken

Got these cryptid photos of a local cat that is a bit Hitlery. Circe likes them though so probably a cool cat actually

Digital Artist: In my work I invented the Gowl Detector as a cautionary tale Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Gowl Detector from classic art installation Don't Create The Gowl Detector

Trying to ruin my own night by getting into an argument in an Assassin's Creed Shadows articles comment section.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Columbo

Goodnight Stoneybatter! Lovely but quiet evening! Thanks to online orders we crept past a quarter of the way to rent! €1500 left to go before we pay on the 11th! littledeercomics.ie

Got a huge collection of Isaac Asimov short stories on the cheap. Shout out to my Asimov fans! ...Just me? Well okay. I started reading prose again because I curiously picked up an Asimov book in 2017 and been waiting for these collections to be reprinted the entire time.

i should be given an award for not even teasing this over the past couple months or so

What are the bets that confidential information = working conditions? I mean, I'm probably the only person with a console who hasn't played a Rockstar game since San Andreas came out but come onnn they do this because nobody has any bloody integrity

I'm Meggie, a queer nonbinary cartoonist from Michigan! I'm the author of Batcat (book 4 out in April 2026), work as a graphic novel designer, and am tracking everything I read this year on Instagram and bluesky (I'm up to 320 books/comics!) This thread is for November's reads:

Now I'm actually set on not buying new games next year, my dumb ass brain has bought more games in the last three weeks than can conceivably be finished in one year... In my defence, these last few months have been insane when it comes to just all-timer horror games for strangely affordable prices.

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor. A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

Score another victory for not being an absolute gowl. A lesson that will continue not being learned by political pundits

so many good pictures out there

Had to share this from twitter just because

Purgatory 27/10/2025 I’m trying out new brushes for shading lately. Haven’t quite figured out which one I’ll stick with when the time comes. Otherwise, my old comics are full of trying new inking and shading, and you can find those here linktr.ee/detectiveken

So I've been trying new things with the whole "Draw Ken in Little Deer" thing. I did a bunch last year but it was diminishing returns as they went on (bad for business) and I refuse to just show my face, so we do different things to make the algorithm think it's worth pushing. This one wasn't it.

Should've happened before it was used for some fascist propaganda actually

success as a comics person being when you get to like, maybe an even 50 percent, ideally

this should be an objective in all games

“I Thought I Heard Your Voice Just Then” is a new eight-page comic drawn by @jlaguff.bsky.social and written by myself. You can read it below or purchase it on a pay-what-you-want basis on Itch.io (which I recommend, Bluesky compression being what it is): hagaipalevsky.itch.io/thoughtiheard (1/2)

I haven't forgotten

Saw someone try to say a man and woman became close friends without cheating on their partners by describing it as "an intrigue beyond innocence"

Centrism is the belief that society achieved perfection around the same time as you became a homeowner

Went to see a movie yesterday, big weird creature in a trailer beforehand, hit Becca with a "that's you" great stuff, classic. On the way home we drove by some big building and she goes "that's you" and I look up to see SAP in big letters, brutal

See you again! We're closed Mondays, so the shop will be back Tuesday. The webshop has no hours though littledeercomics.ie

Very slow start to the Rent-O-Meter this month! It was a gorgeous day and we’re officially in the holiday run-up now. @detectiveken.bsky.social will be Guest Shopkeeper Sunday 10:30-4! Until then you can shop all night at littledeercomics.ie

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched I should have followed up Prince of Darkness with another Carpenter film.

Inexplicably I followed this up with The Hurt Locker, but it's okay, I've watched Prince of Darkness(John Carpenter just knows how to do it, man) now on Halloween, and will try and get through Spiral (the "lost" sequel to The Ring) before the night is out.

Purgatory 30/10/2023 Posting early for obvious reasons. Reposted my Halloween piece from last year to lead into this, as I tried to capture the feeling from the last panel in it.

Reposting last years Halloween illustration because an early Purgatory is up tomorrow. I put a lot of work into capturing the memory of it, and the sensation of stumbling through the suburbs bathed in the early orange street lights of the autumn evenings.

Today's the final day! I picked up.some excellent comics and you should too 🫡

HELLO SIDNEY. DO U CONDEMN THE ACTIONS OF HAMAS

Videonauts: A horror game where you guide cute animals through a spooky mansion! resnijars.itch.io/videonauts

I'm going insane

i know Dragon Ball is based on Journey to the West but Dragonball Z is very similar to Gilgamesh

I should be watching a horror film, but Takashi Miike has a film on Mubi so I'm having a good time regardless

awright, SBCF recommendations thread ‼️

Guillermo del Toro said “I don’t ever make eye candy, I make eye protein” and that goes hard tbh

Ohohooo my @godivaghoul.bsky.social art book arrived! Genuinely angry at myself for not ordering all the extras with it. Even just the bookmarks would have been fantastic.

Just another recommendation from the Irish Small Press comic scene. This time it is @detectiveken.bsky.social and it great book A sides. Really enjoyable read. Available online at his ko-fi shop (link below) along with his other books. ko-fi.com/detectiveken...

I did finish it! This is the latest assignment - a speculative cover for The Reader for an autumn edition all about reading indoors.

Good to see another game worked on by someone in the small comics community here is getting a lot of love. Played the demo at a Next Fest earlier this year and minutes in I know it was going to hit that right deduction vibe. store.steampowered.com/app/1395520/...

If you, like me, are a fiend for deductive narrative games (Obra Dinn, Golden Idol, etc) then you must check out the tremendous The Seance of Blake Manor (out today), which has become one of my favorite games of 2025. Only caveat is that I ran into a few nasty bugs www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATH_...
